Do Any Of My Fellow ImgFlippers Hunt Morels?

My hubby found these today. It's my favorite time of year lol the cooked pic is from last week, we will have one or two more meals from them and then I won't have them Again until next year so I treasure the ones I get.

We used to pick chantrelles on Queen Charlotte Island for extra cash, quite lucrative in the fall months, but bears everywhere.

The hubby sells these for about $50 a pound hence the reason I treasure the ones I get. They are plentiful here for a few months a year but you have to really do some climbing to get to them.

Plastic surgeons sell these shrooms for around $2500/LB

LOL I guess that's right!!!

You bin there? Friggin beautiful country out there.

No...I'm near Vancouver. I play in the Fraser Valley. Rivers, Lakes mountains etc. :-)

Nice! Thats where I grew up. Vancouver, Kamloops and the asshole of B.C. Prince Geaorge. I'm headed that way in a few weeks. Ft. St. James and Kellowna

Good timing bro..! Nice weather here of late...except for a wildfire in FSJ.

Yeah I heard. My folks are building a house on Stuart Lake, so they're close to water. Last time I was there a sawmill burnt down about a mile from their place.

I'm severely allergic to mushrooms, almost anaphylactic :/

My brother in law is as well. He won't even visit if he knows I am cooking them.

I've never had morels (and for obvious reasons refuse to try) but the reaction is more or less severe depending on the mushroom. Whitecaps tend to make me sweaty and nauseous, portobellos make me wheezy and forcefully vomiting. Shiitake mushrooms will send me to the hospital. It's such an agitating allergy to have, because you never know when there's mushrooms in a sauce or something like that, and you'll end up sick.

Morels would probably have a similar affect to the portobellos if I had to guess that's the general allergic reaction to them I have seen. I can't imagine having a food allergy of any kind. That sucks!!!

I tried, but I kept losing arrows. ;). I have friends who do. They love it. I can't eat mushrooms, but am planning on going.

LOL you have to be a good shot ;-)

:)

lol thanks! I always wanted to live like a smurf!!!

I've never gone looking for morels, but over here in Wisconsin we got giant puffballs.

Are those the edible ones!?!? If so that would make a whole dinner! That sucker is huge!

They are edible and go great in a marinade

YUM! I could live on mushrooms!

http://traveltips.usatoday.com/morel-mushroom-hunting-northern-wisconsin-109453.html you should give it a shot looks like you guys have morels a plenty!

I'll try it sometime this week, I know some forests that may have them. If not, I know I'll find some fiddlehead ferns.

I would if you wanted them.

:)

No, I am a Kentucky gal. They will stay fresh in a brown bag in the fridge for 3 or 4 days. Then cut up and soaking in salt water for another 2. So if thy are really fresh when you pick them you can get a week out of them :-)

Probably not :-( Next time you are in KY look me up. LOL I am easy to find. Just listen for the loud mouth;-) I would honestly love to meet a few of you guys. It feels like we are old school friends anyways. We have a river restaurant near by with great coffee and perfect roast beef.

Pilze?

Yep :-)

No I just hung for mellow mushrooms (a great pizza place)

Since there is like 10 people here revealing what state they live in I might as well too, Ohio

My best friend growing up lives in Loveland Ohio.

That's like an hour north west of me
